Midvale Primary School (MPS) is located approximately 20 kilometres from the Perth CBD, within the City of Swan. Our current enrolment is approximately 30 students from Kindergarten to Year six. We have a very Multicultural school population which is drawn mainly from Midvale and Midland and the nearby suburbs of Viveash, Middle Swan and Swan View. Our school catchment lies in both the City of Swan and the Shire of Mundaring.

Our shared moral purpose states that, 'As a community we create a safe learning environment driven by high expectations for all students to achieve success in all areas'. The school motto is 'Together Everyone Achieves More'. This understanding forms the foundation of a truly collaborative approach between staff, students, families and the wider community to change lives and expand possibilities.
